Not sure how you could look at the 31 NHL teams and not pick the PenguinsGood choice! The Steelers have always been a hard working team. Real blue collar, just like the city, so everyone loves them. I don't follow football as closely living here in Australia, and it has lost a lot of its appeal after the national anthem incident and the spoiled/whiney players' tantrums. And the players pretty much can't do anything else in life.
I admire the AFL players for their preparation for life after sports. They are still regular people. My husband spotted Saverio Rocca having a coffee at the market and pointed him out to me. I inquired if it really was him - all excited, you know. But then when I turned around (after looking for a pen and paper in my purse to ask for an autograph), he was walking away - at least a head and shoulders taller than anyone else. I knew it was him! haha You'd hardly ever see a well-known athlete with the regular folk back home. The AFL has got something special. I hope it never stops.
And absolutely - GO PENS!!!
